I am no way an expert but to lose the fatty weight I was carrying I ate little and often (this is key as it keeps your metabolism burning) so smaller portions but more frequently. Make sure its balanced but keep carbs to about 70-80g a day, stay away from pastry and other foods that contain saturated fat but good fats that are found in eggs and nuts/seeds are obviously required by the body.

I trained 5 times a week mma - I am currently having a break from this training and have found that weights 3 times (4-5 sets 8 reps minimum on every excercise) and jogging for 6-8 km 3 times a week and the odd swim.

Hope this helps I found that it is all about your diet (you are what you eat and all that)

i would try and replace stuff your eating with lower carb / healthier alternatives , make up a lunch box with raw spinach/beetroot stuff like that , eating bulkier veg will make you feel full but wont make you fat
